"Why does the appearance keep changing??"

Because the phone doesn't exist. If they're this far along and haven't decided on a design, it ain't happening.

But feel free to send in your money, Trumpers. You know he cares about you.

They are going to do what they always do, stick the Trump logo on a cheap Chinese product.

u/Realtrain 14h ago

That's loaded with spyware.

u/jazzhandler 12h ago

Technically speaking, more spyware than phone by weight.

u/TuckerCarlsonsOhface 5h ago

Note that he calls it the T1. There is already a Russian phone called the T1, so more likely that.

Concepts of a phone.

Him, probably.

u/PrincessNakeyDance 15h ago

I’m sure what will happen is one of his oligarch buddies will reskin one of their phones in like a year or so as a loyalty gift and none of the promises will be kept except the stupid looking gold phone design with and American flag and a Bible passage on it.

“Thou shall not worship false idols”

Exodus 20:4-5 ISV You are not to craft for yourselves an idol or anything resembling what is in the skies above, or on earth beneath, or in the water sources under the earth. You are not to bow down to them in worship or serve them, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the guilt of parents on children, to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.

Trump saw the Pablo Escobar phone and though, I want this

Much like his watch that may or may not arrive. No refunds

I found a leaked copy of the actual design...

It even has a snowflake button they can press when things start to get too real.

u/Dzotshen 15h ago

Wow. Simple enough for a Trumpanzee

u/JoJackthewonderskunk 15h ago

Notice the soft edges so they can chew on it

Or shove it up their ass

that's always on the table, regardless of the shape.

I hope they wash it before it goes back on the table.

i'm confused about the red stop hand with the hospital cross on it

is that supposed to mean Do Not Resuscitate?

i think it does.

Release the Epstein Files.

u/gizamo 16h ago

It'll be interesting to see what happens to the iPhone sales for gold models. I bet people stop buying them because they won't want people to think they have the Trump phone. Lol.

u/AustinSpartan 16h ago

Fat fuck is not cutting his own phone. I hate that Americans are this fucking dumb.

u/0098six 15h ago

"Americans" are not this fucking dumb. MAGAs on the other hand...Why?

Because only MAGAs are buying this thing. And if you are MAGA AND dumb enough to fall for the latest Trump Crime Family pocket-lining scam, well...that about says it all about MAGAs.

As if the Trump Crime Family isn't rich enough already, they feel a need to pitch another merch sale to who? Their base. They need MAGAs to buy this phone for this little venture to succeed. They are so obviously grifting off their biggest and most loyal fans. It's just gross.

Also...RELEASE THE TRUMP/EPSTEIN FILES.

u/jollyllama 15h ago

It’s not MAGA types buying this, it’s anyone who needs to get bribe money to Trump. Not sure how they could be more transparent about this at this point

17

u/GreatGojira 15h ago

Majority of Americans voted for this dumb fuck. Americans are this fucking dumb all you have to do is look at the town halls of them screaming at the reps they voted for.

If you didn't vote you stayed at home, so I don't give a damn what they think..

u/randomtask 14h ago edited 14h ago

Thanks to the multi-generation right wing media bubble, It’s also approximately the same crowd that voted for George W Bush’s second term, even after him and his sycophants being caught in a lie about the justification for the invasion of Iraq. Just about half of active voting Americans really are so dumb that they’ve chosen to give up democracy itself because it makes them feel like they’re winning a battle against a foe that isn’t there.

u/biobennett 15h ago

It's a common misconception, but just under half of voters voted for DJT in the last election (49.9% or those who cast a vote).

2

u/vs8 12h ago

Americans are dumb. They let this happen because too many dumb fucks voted for him and many more dumb fucks stayed at home. A country of dumb fucks. 🤷🏽

u/Festering-Fecal 15h ago

Meh I'm ok with them getting scammed and losing money.

I just hate the way they voted.

u/hellomynameisnotsure 11h ago

It’s actually not a stretch at all considering how much Trump child rapist cons the cult into buying useless crap with his name on it.

u/Dreaming_Blackbirds 17h ago

sure sign of a scam.

u/tingulz 11h ago

Who the hell is dumb enough to buy something like this?

5

u/Ridgeriversunspot 9h ago

Uh, like 40% of the US population.

8

u/weirdal1968 16h ago

Doesn't matter what it looks like. Anyone who wants to bribe DJT just has to buy a bunch of phones. Those people wouldn't give a fractional fuck if what they received were empty boxes for an old iPhone.

u/EmperorKira 16h ago

This reminds me a lot of Saddam and his sons with their golden guns and other nonsense

Uday and Qusay.

Any resemblance to Don and Eric is merely coincidental.

I need to ask ChatGPT to give me side hustle ideas to get money from these MAGA idiots.

kinda like his policies.

u/Coconutrugby 16h ago

No those are real and work. His pockets have more money. His cronies have more contracts. His institutionalized racism is upon us.

u/witch51 16h ago

Yep...working exactly as designed.

u/MRintheKEYS 14h ago

It looks like a whole lotta I don’t give a fuck.

u/chloe38 13h ago

Another grift to get you ur money. You won't be getting anything back. Not even a refund

u/Stilgar314 17h ago

In fact, they always look the same: a cheap rip off from Temu.

u/Thund3rF000t 15h ago

Samsung and Apple should jointly sue the Trump Organization (not the Trump Administration) that way it is NOT political!

u/FraserYT 15h ago

Does the T stand for tacky?

I'm sure a large part of the story is that, if we're speculating over what a piece of shit kitsch-phone will look like, we're not discussing the Epstein files

u/SamwiseGamchi 8h ago

We can put it on the shelf next to Soulja Boys gaming system

u/gerryf19 6h ago

I smile every time some dumb fuck maga-idiot sends Trump $500 for a phone they will never receive andnif they don't will be a piece of crap

u/ElCamo267 6h ago

The X post clearly shows a logo for phone case maker Spigen under the US flag, to which Spigen replied, "?? bro what?" The company also posted, "lawsuit incoming."

Lmao amateurs. I hope Spigen can do some damage to this.

7

u/xyphon0010 16h ago

I think we can all agree it looks like a plastic piece of crap

u/TranslatorUnique9331 16h ago

There is no phone. Only the concept of a phone.

u/leidheiser7 16h ago

Shit, it looks like shit. A golden turd

2

u/GongTzu 16h ago

They probably just made an AI picture to start with and then found out it couldn’t be done that way from the Chinese manufacturer they selected.

8

u/Killboypowerhed 14h ago

They recoloured a picture of a spigen phone case on an S23. You can still see the logo under the flag

2

u/0098six 15h ago

I mean...I almost can't wait for this thing to actually be released...so I can watch it fail in all its MAGA-grifting glory!

u/guy_incognito784 15h ago

The demographic that would anxiously want something like this are too stupid to notice.

u/usa_reddit 15h ago

It’s an Android since it has a expansion card slot. No card slots on iPhone 😀

u/bStewbstix 14h ago

I thought these items were not about actual products and just a way to launder monies?

u/ChillAMinute 14h ago

That’s cause in 90 days he’ll backtrack and there will be another, better design, you know, the design everyone’s been talking about.

2

u/adventurepaul 14h ago

Honestly, all smartphones look alike nowadays. At the end of the day, it's going to look like a gold brick with multiple camera lenses and will resemble some other phone on the market, like they all do.

The Trump phone isn't the "release" that America is waiting for...

2

u/pappschlumpf 13h ago

We all know how cheaply you can produce in the USA. So the T1 will surely be an S25 Ultra produced by nimble MAGA hands under Samsung's license for $499! Built with the famous American quality, of course.

2

u/KnotSoSalty 13h ago

By the time this sees the light of day it’ll just be a 199$ “gold” plated phone case

2

u/Martipar 13h ago

Why would i want a phone worth a synonym for "Fart" on it?

2

u/metalgtr84 12h ago

What operating system is it going to run? The only choice I see that they have outside of rolling their own is some build of Android.

2

u/rourobouros 10h ago

There are a couple of linux-based phone oses floating around, or (gasp) Windows fone. No current apps though.

2

u/Angry_Walnut 11h ago

I like how there is no clearly agreed upon design but they have still decided hypothetically that if they did make a phone, it would be as blatant of a rip off of 2 different popular phones possible.

2

u/Maravilla_23 11h ago

Copying iPhone 16 Pro design. How original.

2

u/Adept-Mulberry-8720 8h ago

The only reception will be to a Mickey Mouse kids phone without reception.

"the wait is almost over"....... Two more weeks. It will include your own copy of the new health care plan in PDF plus all the epstein files.

u/Gamerfrom61 16h ago

Simple - the person creating the advert changed their own phone at the end of the contract and took a picture of their new one...
